MILLINERY-GABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 8, 1917.

Application filed October 23, 1915. Serial No. 57,519.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUCY B. J ONES, citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Chattanooga, in the county of Hamilton and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Millinery-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a millinery cabinet with a table particularly for use in homes, stores and the like where the economy of space is an important item.

One object of the present invention resides in providing a storage space directly beneath the table top in which a plurality of hats may be accommodated, said storage space being formed by. a plurality of laterally swinging doors, vertically positioned immediately beneath the table top and each carrying an upholstered peg adapted to have a hat fastened thereto by a pin to expose a hat when any one of said doors is opened.

A further novel feature consists in so arranging said doors that the hats held thereby do not interfere when all of the doors are closed and yet are out of the way and entirely concealed and inclosed, but yet; any hait may be easily exposed to view by simply opening its respective door.

Vith the above and other objects in view I will now proceed to describe the specific embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying drawing and which I have found in )ractice to give good results.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a table constructed according to my invention and with one of the doors swung open.

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of one door showing in dotted lines the manner of affixing the hat to the upholstered peg.

In detail:

The millinery cabinet comprises the table top 1 supported by legs 2, and around the sides of the table, immediately adjacent and beneath the top thereof, are door frames 3 of convenient size to permit a hat to pass through the door opening 4t thereof.

Hinged to each door frame 3 at 5, to swing in a lateral. plane, is a door 6 provided on the outside with a knob 7 and on the inside with an upholstered pin 8 adapted to have a hat pin fastened thereto as shown in Fig. 2, so that when the door 6 is closed the hat will be wholly inclosed and concealed beneath the table top and will therefore be out of the way of harm and yet may be easily and completely exposed by simply opening the door by which it is carried. Furthermore, the hats are arranged in a vertical plane on each door and therefore do not contact with one another when all the doors are closed.

While I have herein described a specific embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that, in practice, I may resort to such modifications as fall within the scope of th invention as defined in the appended claim.

I claim:

A cabinet table comprising a top, legs supporting said top, a plurality of frames between and supporting the said legs, each frame having an openin and a door in each frame hinged to swing in a lateral direction and independently of the doors of the other frames, said doors carrying apparel holding means whereby apparel car ried thereby may be concealed beneath the table and supported on said means when the door is closed.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of a subscribing Witness.
